Specialist Leak Detection Norfolk
Leak Detection Specialists Norfolk
When you suspect a water leak in your Norfolk property, getting it found quickly matters. Left alone, even a small leak can damage timber floors, plasterwork and electrics — causing damp and mould that becomes expensive to fix.
Complete Leak Detection provides specialist leak detection services throughout Norfolk. Our engineers cover Norwich, King's Lynn, Great Yarmouth, the North Norfolk coast, and everywhere in between using non-destructive testing methods to locate hidden leaks accurately.

Our Leak Detection Services Across Norfolk
We offer a comprehensive range of leak detection and damp investigation services to locate leaks anywhere in your property — behind walls, beneath floors, underground, within your heating system. Our multi-method approach means we find the actual source of the problem, not just where the water ends up. As a Leak Detection Specialist, we bring advanced equipment and proven expertise to every job.
Water Leak Detection
We locate hidden leaks in mains supply pipes, internal plumbing and waste systems using specialist water leak detection techniques that pinpoint the exact leak location without unnecessary disruption.
Central Heating Leak Detection
We find leaks in radiator pipework, boiler connections and sealed heating systems with our central heating leak detection service. Ideal when your boiler keeps losing pressure.
Underfloor Heating Leak Detection
We trace leaks in underfloor heating circuits beneath screed, tile and laminate floors using non-invasive underfloor heating leak detection methods that protect your flooring.
Underground Leak Detection
We locate leaks in buried supply pipes, service pipes and drainage systems across gardens and driveways with underground water leak detection expertise.
Commercial Leak Detection
Full commercial leak detection services for offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare, agricultural and industrial properties across Norfolk.
Trace and Access
Insurance-approved trace and access survey services with detailed leak investigation reports, photographic evidence and findings to support your claim.
Advanced Leak Detection Technology
Finding a hidden leak takes more than guesswork. Our leak detection engineers use multiple non-destructive testing technologies, choosing the most appropriate methods based on your property type and the suspected leak location. This multi-method approach gives us the best chance of pinpointing the leak while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Thermal Imaging
Our thermal imaging surveys use infrared cameras to detect temperature differences caused by escaping water. Ideal for locating leaks behind walls and beneath floors without damage.
Acoustic Listening
Acoustic listening equipment uses sensitive microphones to detect the sound of water escaping under pressure. Excellent for tracing leaks in mains supply pipes.
Tracer Gas Detection
For heating systems and underfloor circuits, tracer gas detection introduces a safe gas that escapes at the leak point and rises to the surface for detection.
Moisture Mapping
We use advanced moisture meters and mapping to track dampness through building materials, helping trace the leak path back to its source with precision.
Leak Detection for Norfolk Property Types
Norfolk's housing stock varies considerably — from historic flint cottages along the coast to Victorian terraces in Norwich, modern estates in growing market towns, and rural farmhouses across the Broads and agricultural areas. Each property type has different construction methods, pipe materials and common leak points that require a tailored approach.
Period and Historic Properties
Older properties throughout Norwich, King's Lynn, and Norfolk's market towns often have a mix of original and updated plumbing. Many feature traditional flint and brick construction, lime mortar, and complex pipe runs that have evolved over decades. Leaks commonly occur at joints between different pipe materials or where old lead pipework connects to modern copper or plastic. Our thermal imaging and moisture mapping can trace these complex pipe routes without opening up the structure, protecting your property's character.
Coastal Properties
Properties along the North Norfolk coast, from Hunstanton through to Great Yarmouth, face unique challenges. Salt air accelerates corrosion on metal pipework, while ground movement in sandy soils can stress underground supply pipes. Many coastal properties also have older heating systems that are prone to leaks. We understand these specific conditions and adjust our detection methods accordingly.
Modern Homes and New Builds
Norfolk has seen significant residential growth, particularly around Norwich, Thetford, and expanding market towns. While newer plastic pipework is less prone to corrosion, leaks still occur at joints, manifolds and connections. Underfloor heating systems are increasingly common in modern homes, and a leak in these circuits requires specialist detection. If you notice your boiler pressure keeps dropping, it often indicates a hidden heating system leak.
Commercial and Agricultural Properties
Norfolk is home to numerous commercial premises across its towns and cities, plus extensive agricultural holdings. We provide professional plumbing leak detection for commercial premises, offices, retail units, hospitality venues, food processing facilities, and agricultural buildings — with flexible scheduling to minimise business disruption.
Signs You Might Have a Leak
Many leaks stay hidden for weeks or months before becoming obvious. By the time you see visible damage, significant water may already have been lost. If you've noticed any of these warning signs, our leak detection services can help — you can also use our quick leak checker tool to assess your situation.
Catching a leak early typically means simpler repairs, lower costs and less disruption to your home or business. If you've received a notification from Anglian Water about suspected high usage, read our guide on what to do if Anglian Water says you have a leak.
How Our Leak Detection Process Works
When you contact us about a suspected leak anywhere in Norfolk, here's what happens:
Initial Conversation
We discuss your situation over the phone. What have you noticed, where, and when? This helps us understand what kind of leak we're likely dealing with and which equipment to bring to your Norfolk property.
Site Survey
Our engineer inspects your property, looks at the visible damage, checks systems (boiler pressure, water meter, etc.) and identifies access points. We explain our approach before starting any detection work.
Detection Work
Using thermal imaging, acoustic listening, tracer gas, moisture mapping or a combination, we systematically trace the pipe runs and isolate the leak source. This usually takes 1-3 hours for domestic properties.
Findings and Report
Once we've located the leak, we explain what we've found, show you the evidence and mark the leak location. You'll receive a written report with photographs, suitable for insurers.
Repair Guidance
We advise on repair options and can carry out minor plumbing repairs where appropriate. For larger jobs, we provide clear information for your contractor.

Don't let water damage get worse. Our engineers can locate your leak quickly using non-invasive technology.
Insurance Claims & Trace and Access
If you're claiming on your home insurance for water damage, your policy may include trace and access cover. This typically pays for the investigation to find where the leak is coming from, separate from the cost of repairs.
Not sure whether your policy includes cover? Check your policy documents or contact your insurer before arranging your visit. Our detailed reports are designed to support your claim and provide the evidence insurers require.
